Hi Rose,

This is from the Chart from Virtual Seed Tray:


See how painted is surrounded by spotted on one side and daisy on the other? those are the two flowers that can be mutated into painted. In your case I am guessing daisy is what you will want to mutate since you mention you are trying to get both spotted and painted.

the above chart is from a new game with no seeds in it, so the chart looks empty and not very helpful from the picture above.

However, if you download the utility, you will find it is interactive and knows what seeds you have in your game. it will mark up the chart and show you what seeds you have and what you have bred already. you can click on the chart to find out about mutations and other information. if you turn off the option to hide spoilers it will even tell you what you can breed, how to breed them, which are the magic plants, etc. If you have any questions feel free to ask

also the utility will now water your plants and put soil in your pots for you. and there is a nice set of pictures of the flowers and the foliage.

if you download the program and want to go straight to the chart you can click "tools" up at the top, then click "chart."

if you want to see "spoiler" information, such as what plants you can breed and how to breed them, click "options" then click "hide spoilers" (to remove checkmark) and click "hide magic plant identities" (to remove checkmark). then if you click on "tools" and pick "chart" your chart will include all that information as well.

if you are only using the chart from virtual seed tray, it is safe to run virtual seed tray and plant tycoon at the same time. I would suggest running plant tycoon in windowed rather than full screen mode so you can switch back and forth more easily (to change plant tycoon from full screen to windowed mode, from the main page click options and then pick the windowed radio button which will unpick the full screen radio button next to it.)

if you decide to use the seed storing feature of virtual seed tray, be sure you have completely exited plant tycoon.

so far, virtual seed tray is only available for PCs, so if you are using a mac I apologize.

Cheers,
-Borg
